By IANS News March 13, 2021 • 19:22 PM View: 2690

Skipper Sean Williams's unbeaten 106 and his unbeaten eighth-wicket partnership of 124 with Donald Tiripano (63 batting) helped Zimbabwe avert an innings defeat against Afghanistan and take the second Test into the fifth day here at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Saturday.

Zimbabwe was eight runs ahead of hosts Afghanistan with 266/7 wickets at stumps. Zimbabwe, who were forced to follow on, looked down and out at 142 for seven wickets. However, Williams and Tiripano defied the Afghans for 42.4 overs. Leg-spinner Rashid Khan picked five wickets for 105 but failed to find support from the other bowlers.
